The Maasai people are mostly found in Kenya and
Tanzania while the Maradun are found in Zamfara, Stokoto they are human beings
with their own specified traditional lifestyle which seems as their culture and
customs from their ancestral origins. These people exist since, their way
of tradition remains intact without change in respective of the western
civilization today famously in all part of the world.
The Maasai and Maradun are mostly to
be seen in different autonomous tribes and communities with distinct cultural
heritage in their land, Maasai and Maradun makes their living in through
cattle, sheep, goats cow in Kenya Tanzanian and Zamfara, Sokoto were they are
found they are mostly artisans and tourist economically based areas for
strangers.
The Maasai and Manadun people
circumcised their children at the age of 14 years and left their youth as
warriors to care for their live stock for the period of 8 years before coming
back to village marry as man.
They most lived in hut houses, that
is made from a bunch of branches, they use cow-dung to stick the bunches
together both in Kenya and northern Nigerian. Their tribe has been noted of
their different types of village caravans and strange object of their origins
and hills of nature, Maasai people do not till their soil for farming rather
for grazing of their live stock, than depend on cultivated farm product for purchase
but Maradun farm in desert land and scrub land.
The Maasai peoples believes that the
richer or influential of one traditional society depends on the multitude of
his cattle, while the Maradun in Zamfara and Sokoto beloved the office of the
traditional ruler or their chiefs.
Maasai traditionalist do not kill
lion when it attack their cow because of the wildlife organization which
stipulated that the head of the cow must be buried in the sand but the people Maradun
do kill lion as warrior in their own tradition.
The Mardun report their cases to
their traditional ruler while the Maasia report theirs to their council of
elders, Maasai people practice honeymoon while the Maradun do not do such but
voluntary through the emir practice lesbian in their tradition.
Maasai people feed with milk and
blood as protein source but Maradun people of Zamfara and Sokoto feed on milk
and other foods for their survival.
Maasia and Maradun marry their wives
through using cow heads to get their wives, thereby as many wives as many cow
head you present to the family. Maasai and Maradun consult their deities and
gods before embarking on any mission both on security politics marriages etc.
The marriage tradition are the same
like marrying of many wives and bearer of many children and keeping of
livestock, Maasai people and Maradun owing their stage after delivery before
they will recognized the person as baby they will expose it to three moon age
traditional before taking it as heir son.
Meanwhile Maasai without culture is
as a Zebra without stipples, this is still associated with Maradun people way
of life. Maasai traditional lifestyle of judging issues are patriarchal in
nature.
They decided matter on a full body
house made of oral law covers with many aspect of their behaviour, they pays in
cattle’s to settle matters, they had their own court for peace and reconciliation
arena, while Maradun people execute tyrant by convicting their people if found
guilt of an offence, and settle their cases through their traditional rule or
the emir by their law in the court.
The traditional Maasai do not bury
their dead ones either left them for scavengers, the only person meant to give
burial ceremony was their chiefs, the ceremonies unless their chiefs.
But they do not marry or have sex
with each at the same way of Maradun people, both of this tribe circumcise
their children but do not live the same wildlife as found in Kenya, Tanzania
and north Nigeria.
People of Maradun traditional
culture based their sources of living on farming and observe western life but
remain intact with their culture and traditional origins presently (HRH) Alhaji
Garba Muhammed Tambani FICEN, MFR and Maradun chairman first class Emir, are
hereditary but the Maasai people royal hood based on riches of the cattle and
children.
Maradun people traditional life
assume kingship like a successors to throne, but the people of Maasia in Kenya
and Tanzania they depend on their leadership stages on the organization of the
wildlife law and their council of elders to ascend to throne not in wise
reputation like Maradun but depend on the large expense of ones cattle, sheep,
cow etc. before one could be confirmed chief titles, Massai and Maradun people
has spirit of loyalty and honesty in their common tradition to their chiefs or
Emir, that any person confirmed titles must be respected home and outside than
tribe by their people as one chosen to represent them.
They are monarchial both the people
of Maasia and Maradun both in politics and other social issues, their security
are not exposed to government but are been intervening through their chief or
emirs, like the people of Maradun in respect of the security of Nigeria in the
problem of Boko Haram menace are been consulted through their emir of Zuma
Salisu and the news will be circulated to his people through their custodian of
their laws and customs, but the Maasai people are hardly communicated but they
are people lovely people unless through their council of elders but their
culture are complicated to one’s understanding because they live in the desert.
